Las Vegas vs. Bakersfield

[Hector Mejia]

Hello,

A little background of me: 

Currently station in Hawaii and will be getting out in 5 months. I’m planning on buying my first house using my Va loan on either Las Vegas or Bakersfield. 

Anywho, I’ve read a couple books I bought from BP so I have little knowledge about how to start (somewhat). MY biggest concern is when it comes to understanding the market changes and how to analyze what city is best. I don’t know what to look up or what to type when it comes to understanding how each city is doing when it comes to RE and/or what to look for. If anyone could help me with what city you think would be a better investment and why? If you can also guide me on how I could understand more of the market trends, analysis, what to look for, etc. I would gladly appreciate it!
